An unidentified male caller, who claims to have hostages and says he has already killed his girlfriend, called several Fairfield schools and threatened to come there with a gun prompting police to put all 17 schools in a state of lock down.

CTPost.com reports that “officials sounded skeptical of the call,” but are taking every necessary precaution. Police said they received the call from the unidentified male around 9:05 a.m. who said he has a pipe bomb, a shot gun, and is willing to kill himself.

Police said they were given an address of 285 Black Rock Turnpike which doesn’t exist. Police are canvassing in that area and going door to door. They have also secured an area on the Black Rock Turnpike.

CTPost.com reports that the number was non-traceable and that officials think the false address is an attempt to send emergency responders to a false location, which is known as “swatting.”

Schools are ready to evacuate students from school, if necessary; extra local police have been called in; and the State Police, as well as Bridgeport and Fairfield department have been notified.
